Thanks for looking.

Totally different from what I expected, but I like it. If you look at her long enough she almost looks real

Her pose looks a little stiff

There's got to be a story here. Where was this taken?

Yep. I think it's her arm what gives her mannequinness away

Models tend to tell easily the good photographers from those who are just wasting their time

Small rural museums here in Manitoba tend to use old mannequins like this one to "enhance" their exhibits... because for the most part their exhibits are just collections of stuff. I love visiting these isolated museums and have lots of fun photographing the ladies

Edit: this photo in particular was taken at the Chapman Museum, near Rivers, Manitoba.
